Cyber solidarity on the chopping block. CISA Layoffs threaten U.S. cyber coordination with states, businesses, and foreign partners. Google issues its second emergency Chrome update in a week, and puts Privacy Sandbox out of its misery. OpenAI’s new browser proves vulnerable to indirect prompt injection. SpaceX disables Starlink devices used by scam compounds. Reddit sues alleged data scrapers. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Montana suffers a data breach. A new Android infostealer abuses termux to exfiltrate data. Iran’s MuddyWater deploys a wide-ranging middle east espionage campaign. We’re joined by Lauren Zabierek and Camille Stewart Gloster discussing the next evolution of #ShareTheMicInCyber. When customer service fails, try human resources.

It was great joining #ShareTheMicInCyber co-founder Lauren Zabierek on the CyberWire Daily to talk about how the cybersecurity landscape & the people shaping it are evolving. Inclusion isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s how we build stronger, smarter defenses.

Angela Madden on LinkedIn: #new2cybersummit #informations... I've been inspired by SANS Institute's #New2Cyber...

Give @ap_madden a follow and check out her video to hear more about her story, how she shifted to #infosec, and some tips on training and #DFIR! #ShareTheMicInCyber

www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activ...

Angela now works at Dike Health as an information security analyst and #DFIR specialist! What an amazing background and career change. I am super happy to have met @ap_madden and #ShareTheMicInCyber with her!

Angela, @ap_madden, was awarded the SANS Diversity Cyber Academy Scholarship which allowed her to get not 1, not 2, but 3 certifications: #GSEC, #GCIH, and #GCFE. @SANSInstitute #ShareTheMicInCyber

Angela, like myself, loves to teach! She was a Biometrics and Forensics Instructor in Fort Bragg, NC. Then as the pandemic hit, she decided to shift careers to Digital Forensics and Incident Response #DFIR #ShareTheMicInCyber @ap_madden

Right after college, she hit the ground running working as a Crime Scene Analyst and Specialist for two different police departments. She then served in Afghanistan as a Forensic Scientist. Upon returning she focused on forensics and biometrics. #ShareTheMicInCyber @ap_madden

Angela went to college, graduating in 2005 with a Bachelor in Criminology and Criminal Justice from the University of Maryland. She then obtained a Master of Forensics Science at George Washington University. #ShareTheMicInCyber @ap_madden

While my focus is on #offensivesecurity and #purpleteam, I did ask my @SANSInstitute family and #DFIR friends how common this career shift from crime scene investigations to DFIR is… and guess what, it isn't very common. So let's learn a bit from @ap_madden #ShareTheMicInCyber

Hello #ShareTheMicInCyber I would like to tell you a little bit about someone amazing I met, Angela Madden @ap_madden She has an awesome story to share going from a forensics background in crime scene investigations to Digital Forensics and Incident Response #DFIR

This Friday is #ShareTheMicInCyber!!! Follow the hashtag to meet amazing people in our community #infosec #cybersecurity

Very excited to #ShareTheMicInCyber on Oct 21! Make sure to follow the hashtag as we all learn about amazing people in our #infosec community we may not already know!
